my shadow
crosses all
borders
without a
passport


the Spring morning
opens its heart
with no words


dead bird
feathered
agony
in silence


frigid moon
winter stars
silence and
loneliness


Spring dawn
nether world
   of mist


from  the mist
a tiny boat
empty and
time abeyant


after the rain
crescent moon
dancing in
puddles


a barren branch
one Winter raven
two of us alone


Summer moon
holding a woman
absolute joy


empty windows
the old woman
no longer
sweeping
the porch


naked woman
by moonlight
absolute beauty


Spring morning
the taste of mist
and cherry blossoms


my love
my lover
longest kisses
by moonlight


a puddle reflects
heartache and
soft summer clouds


Summer storm
flashing-sorrows
    in her eyes


vacant room
empty life
her fragrance
lingers


Winter evening
no easy path
being alone


the hare stares
as if it just noticed
   the moon


somehow
I’m still here
falling snow


Spring blossoms
the path has
vanished

These are wonderful.  First you give me the crescent moon dancing in puddles.  Then you give me the raven on the branch.  I love the way you see things.
